cookbook update and cookies for noming

On August 3, 2009 By

Hey there!

Sum­mer has us in a full-on whirl­wind of hus­tle and bus­tle. I can’t believe it’s August! I remem­ber ago­niz­ing over child­hood and ado­les­cence, just will­ing it to hurry up. Now I’m drag­ging my heels to make the wheels turn a lit­tle more slowly.

Any­way, I wanted to give you a lit­tle update […]

summer lovin’

On July 26, 2009 By

As much as the heat can tire me, I love sum­mer. The sun­shine, birds hop­ping about, squir­rels laz­ing on the top of our fence with their lit­tle, furry thighs slung over the wood as they snooze sprawled out in the mid­day heat. What’s not to love? Sure you sweat, but that’s healthy and good to […]

very berry american summer

On July 23, 2009 By

It’s hot.

It’s very hot.

I’m not going to com­plain, though. Our weather has volleyed between 65 degree highs and 95 degrees highs, rather bipo­lar. And when it was cooler, I was very loudly unhappy about it not feel­ing like sum­mer. Some­thing out there must have heard me, because here we are.

The heat has some benefits, […]

random bits and bites

On July 13, 2009 By

Well, another week­end gone, another week of sum­mer lost. I swear, the days are just falling away and sum­mer seems to have dis­ap­peared again. It was 59 when I woke up this morn­ing and so cold in my office that I never took my zip­pered jacket off all day.

Despite the cold tem­per­a­tures, the produce […]

episode 3 and a request

On July 9, 2009 By

Well, here she is: Episode 3 of the nom! nom! nom! cook­ing show. Enjoy this very clas­sic and sum­mery recipe.

Vichys­soise
This soup’s ori­gins are debated, but it’s creamy and addic­tive fla­vor is unde­ni­ably good. You can always use onions in place of the shallot.

1 tbsp. mar­garine
3 medium leeks, washed and […]

cherry, cerise, cereza, nom!

On July 7, 2009 By

First off, episode three is under­go­ing post-production behind me as we speak, so it will finally be up on Thurs­day I’m think­ing. Sorry about the long time between episodes. We’ll be short­en­ing that up, you know how crazy sum­mer can get!

Last week­end, we got a great tip from our friend Amy about a farm […]
